I often start painting with no references, just making things up out of my head.  I love flowers; the florals in this painting aren't a specific type.  A couple years ago I was inspired while driving to my studio, driving past masses of blooming roses and meanwhile Eric Clapton was playing in my car.  The painting that resulted was 'In the Presence", and just for fun I included an image of that painting (now sold) below.  I'm staying with the theme of Eric Clapton songs / lyrics for these floral paintings that I make up, in this similar vein.  "Grand Illusion' began with a preliminary painting in acrylic paints and I quickly went to oil paints.  It took shape over the course of a few days.

I'm focusing on abstracts and abstracted landscapes for 2013; a new season of spring, the time of growth and I'm doing new work.  Please contact me if you have questions or want to purchase; contact me H E R E
